Rocket League has officially hit a major milestone, surpassing 1,000,000 concurrent players over the weekend — a feat the game hasn’t achieved since 2020.

This sudden resurgence marks one of Rocket League’s strongest periods in recent years, signaling renewed interest from both players and viewers alike.

A major factor behind Rocket League’s spike in player count is the involvement of some of the biggest creators on the internet.

Popular streamers such as Ludwig, StableRonaldo, and Jynxzi have been streaming Rocket League extensively, exposing the game to millions of viewers across platforms. Their broadcasts have reignited excitement around the game, pulling in returning veterans as well as brand-new players.

The result has been a noticeable rise not only in the player base, but also in Rocket League’s viewership numbers, especially across Twitch and YouTube.

What This Means for Rocket League

With renewed momentum, Rocket League finds itself in a strong position going into 2026. If major creators continue to support the game and Psyonix capitalizes on this surge with meaningful updates and events, this could mark the beginning of a long-term revival rather than a short-lived spike.

For now, one thing is clear — Rocket League is back in the spotlight.
